Die Regering Van Koning Asa

Die onderwerp in die regering van koning Asa (2 Kroniek 13) is ‘n waarskuwing van God aan al goeie manne en vroue maar ook aan ons almal. Die waarskuwing is egter meer direk aan alle goeie leiers en herders. Die konings van Israel was deur die profete geken as wagters. God het vir die profete gesê dat hulle hul konings wagters moet noem. Die Hebreeuse woord vir wagter en herder is dieselfde‐ Roeh‐ en in ‘n pastorale bediening kan daar baie geleer word van die konings van Israel.

Daar is goeie wagters en herders en daar is slegte wagters en herders en die tipologie van die koning van Israel leer ons van die goeie en slegtes maar dit is van toepassing op ons almal.

Ons lees in hoofstuk 13 vers 20?22: “En Jeróbeam het geen krag meer behou in die dae van Abía nie, (Aviyah beteken My Vader is Yahweh) en die HERE het hom swaar getref, sodat hy gesterf het. Maar Abía het hom versterk; en hy het vir hom veertien vroue geneem en die vader van twee en twintig seuns en sestien dogters geword. En die verdere geskiedenis van Abía, sy weë en sy woorde, is beskrywe in die Uitleg van die profeet Iddo.”

Die woord “uitleg” wat hier gebruik word beteken in Hebreeus? “Midrash? Midrasj” (Om te ondersoek) Baie mense beweer dat midrasj nie in die Bybel voorkom nie maar dit is daar omdat baie van ons nie Hebreeus kan lees nie.

Asa volg Abia op in Juda in hoofstuk 14. Asa was ‘n goeie koning, sy vader was nie ‘n slegte koning nie en sy seun was ‘n baie goeie koning, maar Asa het begin as ‘n goeie koning. Aviyah ?Abia het ontslaap met sy vaders. Nou die idee om by die vaders gevoeg te word is wat in Hebreeus “Avot” genoem word. Avot is die meervoud van “Ava”? vader.

In Hebreeus het ons ‘n wêreld wat geken word as Sheol, wat die onderste wêreld beteken, die plek waar die geeste van siele en die dode heengaan. Sheol bestaan uit twee gedeeltes, een gedeelte was Geheno? Gehena. Gehena was geken as die plek buite die afval hek van Jerusalem waar al die afval verbrand word, daar was ‘n vuur wat dag en nag gebrand het, maar dit is ook ‘n gruwel plek waar Molech? Molog aanbidding plaasgevind het. Dit is waar die Kidron Vallei en die Hinnom dal (Tyropean) bymekaar kom waar hulle babas aan duiwels geoffer het. Gehenna is ‘n Bybelse simbool van die Hel. Jesus sê vir die Fariseërs: “Hoe sal julle die oordeel van die Hel? Gehenna ontvlug?

Sheol het dus twee gedeeltes, die een helfte is die plek Gehenna waar al die bose mense heengaan en dan is daar ‘n groot kloof tussen die twee gedeeltes wat niemand kan oorsteek nie, en aan die ander kant is die plek “Avot”? wat geken word as die “Boesem van Abraham.”

In Lukas 16 sien ons Lasarus en die ryk man, Lasarus was aan die boesem van Abraham en hy is in die plek Avot, die plek van die vaders? Abraham? Isak? Jakob? en die ander in die plek van verdoemenis? Gehenna? en daar is ‘n groot kloof tussen die twee. Nou, die Hel is ewig, en daar is ook ‘n volle

bewustheid, Lasarus was instaat om met die man wat in hierdie vuur was te praat en die ryk man was in staat om die seëninge van Lasarus en die Avot te sien.

Vandag is daar baie mense soos Roger Forster wat leer dat daar nie ‘n plek soos die Hel bestaan nie, Hel is ‘n plek van vernietiging. As jy jou nie bekeer van jou sondes nie sal jy na jou dood eenvoudig net nie meer bestaan nie. Dit is wat die “Optogte vir Jesus” se leier Roger Forster leer. Maar dit is wat ongeredde mense buitendien glo, wat is die nut daarvan om aan hulle die Evangelie te verkondig as hulle vernietig gaan word? Maar dit is wat die Bybel leer nie. Lasarus en die ryk man was by hulle volle positiewe en hulle het gesien wat met mekaar gebeur.

Nou, die probleem wat ons met die N.T. het toe hulle hierdie konsep in die N.T. vertaal het? het hulle die plek Sheol na Hades in Grieks vertaal. Dit is nie ‘n groot probleem nie, maar toe die King James Hades na Hel vertaal het was daar ‘n probleem en hulle het gedink Jesus het afgedaal in die Hel, baie kerke sien dit vandag nog so. Dit is waar Copeland en Hagan hulle verwronge idees vandag kry. Jesus het nie afgedaal in die Hel nie, Hy het na die Avot? Sheol – Hades gegaan.

Jesus het na die Ou Testamentiese heiliges gegaan wat getrou onder die Wet gesterf het, hulle wat in die boesem van Abraham gewag het vir die koms van die Messias, en nadat Hy aan die kruis vir sondes gesterf het kon hulle deur Hom die ewige Hemel ingaan.

1 Kron. 14:1?7: “En Abía het ontslaap met sy vaders en is begrawe in die stad van Dawid, en sy seun Asa het in sy plek koning geword. In sy dae het die land tien jaar gerus. En Asa het gedoen wat goed en reg was in die oë van die HERE sy God: hy het die vreemde altare en die hoogtes verwyder en die klippilare stukkend gebreek en die heilige boomstamme omgekap en aan Juda gesê om die HERE, die God van hulle vaders, te soek en om die wet en die gebod te doen. Ook het hy uit al die stede van Juda die hoogtes en die sonpilare verwyder, en die koninkryk het gerus onder hom.

Verder het hy versterkte stede gebou in Juda, want die land was rustig; en daar was geen oorlog teen hom in daardie jare nie, omdat die HERE hom rus verskaf het. Daarom het hy aan Juda gesê: Laat ons hierdie stede opbou en met 'n muur omring en met torings, poorte en grendels, terwyl die land nog vry voor ons lê; want ons het die HERE onse God gesoek??ons het gesoek, en Hy het ons rus verskaf rondom. Hulle het toe gebou en was voorspoedig.” Let op hy bring al die dinge wat hy het en die voorspoed wat hy ontvang het direk in verband met die feit dat die mense getrou was aan God.

Vers 8: “En Asa het 'n leër gehad wat skild en spies dra: uit Juda drie honderd duisend man, en uit Benjamin, (Juda en Benjamin en ook van die Leviete was die twee suidelike stamme, die ander tien stamme was van die noordelike gebied)? wat die skild dra en die boog span, twee honderd en tagtig duisend; hulle was almal dapper helde.”

Let op! Die mense in die noorde het die leefwyse van heidene nagevolg, hulle godsdienstige geloof, maar die in die suide het getrou gebly. Die mense in die suide het nie dieselfde voorspoed en getalle gehad as die in die noorde nie, hulle het tien stamme gehad, die in die suide net twee stamme en die Leviete. Hulle het nie al die voorspoed gehad nie maar God was met hulle, dit is waar die Tempel was en

hulle het die troon van Dawid gehad. Dawid is die Ou Testamentiese skaduwee van Christus? as die Goeie Herder en Koning, hulle het die Here gehad.

Hulle het ‘n nalatingskap van Dawid gehad. Hulle het nie geld of getalle gehad nie. Die Noorde het ‘n groot leërmag gehad maar die soldate was nie almal dapper manne nie, let op? net mense wat regtig getrou is aan God sal dapper wees in geestelike oorlogvoering. Vir God is kwaliteit altyd baie meer belangriker as kwantiteit. Hierdie wêreld kerke het miskien die getalle en geld en baie besitting, maar in ‘n oorlog gaan hulle nie dapper vegters wees nie.

Kom ons kyk na hulle. Sien ons dat hulle Moslem na Christus toe lei? Nee natuurlik nie, hulle gaan ooreenkomste met hulle aan, nog erger, hulle lewe soos hulle. Ons moet onthou dat die oudste vyand van die Evangelie in die eilande die Druide was, ‘n Keltiese godsdiens van ouds, die klipsirkel (Stonehenge) groep in Engeland. ‘n Tyd gelede met die sonstilstand was daar in Brittanje weer ‘n herlewing van hierdie heidense godsdiens. Post? Christen en neo heidense Brittanje keer terug na heidenisme. In Belfast Ierland sien jy van beide Katolieke en Protestante muur tekeninge van die antieke Keltiese oorlog gode en mitiese helde. Cohowin en Arene. Arene was die ou heks wat altyd die bloed van jongmense gesoek het om haar jeugdigheid te behou. Dit is die beelde wat deur para?millitêre en terroriste organisasies gebruik word wanneer hulle kinders vermoor. Dieselfde demoniese kragte, sommige mense noem dit gebiedsgeeste, (principalities) is aan die werk. Die weergeboorte van heidenisme in Brittanje, die oudste vyand van die Evangelie. Dit was Patrick, St. Patrick wat die Druide gekonfronteer het. Die leier van die Kerk van Engeland is een, en hy is ‘n Druid wat homoseksuele in die huwelik verbind, wat homoseksuele as Biskoppe aanstel. Dit is net soos in Israel.

As jy die Torra lees wat dit beklemtoon, en hulle moes die hele Wet onderhou. Onder hierdie gebooie soos in Levitikus is daar baie gebooie teen onnatuurlike seksuele praktyke soos bestialisme, bloedskande en Homoseksuele en lesbiese verhoudings, onnattuurlik en perverse verhoudings.

Nou word daar wette gemaak wat as jy dit sê dan is jy skuldig aan haatspraak. ‘n Belediging vir die minderhede! Dit is dieselfde as om ‘n Jood ‘n kite te noem, ‘n swart mens ‘n swartnerf, of ‘n Asiaat ‘n Paki. Is Jode, swart mense en Asiate dieselfde as homoseksuele? Niemand het nog ooit Hel toe gegaan as gevolg van sy kleur of ras nie! Daar is niks verkeerd om ‘n Asiaat, swart of wit te wees nie, dit is nie pervers of onnattuurlik nie maar hulle gaan wette maak wat ons gaan belet om dit vir iemand te sê.

Wette wat kerke se liefdadigheid status kan wegneem en hulle belasting kan laat betaal, dinge wat in elk geval gaan kom. Maar wat nog meer siek is? is dat gevestigde kerke hierdie dinge ondersteun, en Pinkster kerke gaan dit ook doen. Israel het net soos die heidense nasies om hulle geword. Dit is wat om ons ook gebeur, hulle raak net so immoreel as die nasies om hulle.

Maar hulle wou nog steeds as Jode geken word, net soos vandag, hulle wil nog steeds as Christene geken word. Maar Jesus sê: As julle My lief het, bewaar My gebooie.

Let op die teks sê hulle het nie God se insettinge gehou nie, God het vir hulle in Deuteronomium gesê: Bewaar My insettinge sodat dit met julle goed kan gaan.” Ons onderhou nie God se gebooie om die Here se ontwil nie, God is God, Hy het niemand nodig om enigiets te doen nie. God sê bewaar My gebooie vir

julle onthalwe. As mense God se gebooie onderhou sal daar nie misdaad, sosiale ongeregtighede en ook nie Vigs wees nie. As ons God se gebooie bewaar sal dit met ons goed gaan. Maar hulle het geword soos die heidene om hulle en dit is wêreldwyd.

In Uganda in Kenia is daar baie ware wedergebore swart Anglikane, die meeste van hulle is waarlik gered, maar in Suid Afrika onder Desmond Tutu is dit nie die geval nie, hier wil hy Lesbiese vroue as priesters aanstel terwyl hy omgaan met toordokters, hy het geword soos die heidene om hom. Hier sien ons Israel en Juda. Vir ‘n Keniaan is homoseksualisme ‘n perversie.

Dit is interessant om op te merk dat mense wat onder die verval en die oorvloed van die Westerse wêreld uitkom en in ‘n eenvoudig derde wêrelds kultuur gaan woon, daar geen endemiese homoseksualiteit voorkom nie! Die enigste plek in die derde wêreld waar homoseksualiteit hoog gety vier is in Asië, waar kinders as homoseksuele prostitute vir die Westerlinge in Thailand aangehou word, Budhiste wat klein seuntjies en dogtertjies verkoop! Dit is dinge wat vroeër nie in die groter Afrika bestaan het nie, dit gebeur net wanneer mense beïnvloed word deur die korrupte westerse wêreld. Kyk na die diere wêreld, hulle doen dit nie, mense het slegter geword as diere. Israel en Judah, kom ons kyk: Asa raak ontslae van al hierdie dinge en God seën hom.

Vers 9: “En Serag, die Kusiet, het teen hulle uitgetrek hom met 'n leër van 'n miljoen met drie honderd strydwaens; en hy het gekom tot by Marésa.” (Asa kom te staan teen ‘n oormag)

Vers 10: “Toe trek Asa uit hom tegemoet, en hulle het die slagorde opgestel in die dal Sefáta by Marésa. Vers 11: En Asa het die HERE sy God aangeroep en gesê: HERE, niemand kan help soos U tussen die magtige en die kragtelose nie; help ons, HERE onse God, want op U steun ons, en in u Naam het ons teen hierdie menigte gekom; HERE, U is onse God; laat geen sterfling naas U magtig wees nie.” Let op: “HERE niemand kan help soos U nie?” Hierdie manne het baie meer strydwaens, ‘n groter leër, hulle is baie sterker en slimmer as ons. “Niemand soos U HERE?” om te help in die geveg tussen die magtige en die kragtelose nie: “HERE onse God, want op U steun ons, en in u Naam het ons teen hierdie menigte gekom.” Let op: ? “Laat geen mens teen U staan nie.”

Wanneer ons sien dat mense immorele agendas soos Homoseksualisme en heidenisme promoveer en getroue Christene en kerke probeer daarteen opstaan, dan kom hulle nie te staan teen ons nie maar teen God Self, hulle maak van hulleself vyande van God.

Groete in Jesus †††

A critical juncture in NATO'S future Rubin Rothler LLB, LLM NATO was originally established in 1949 to keep the Russian hordes at bay from toppling those European countries not forked over to the Soviet sphere of influence at the Potsdam conference. Europe lay in ruins. Britain had passed on the torch of global hegemony to the U.S. by tacitly acquiescing to the decolonization of its Empire when Churchill and Roosevelt agreed terms of the Atlantic Charter for the post-war new world order in 1941. So from its start NATO was very much an American driven endeavor. American money with the Marshall plan was propping up western European economies and its military might was forming the bulk of their defensive capabilities. The lopsided nature of this dynamic has informed how tensions have persisted and recently erupted in the Alliance. During the Cold War the U.S. felt obligated to shoulder the costs of underwriting Europe's security in light of the broader interests to keep the Soviet's in check. Following the fall of the Iron Curtain European complacency became a sticking point with the 'peace dividend' further exploiting American largesse. European NATO allies spent ever smaller percentages of their GDP on defense expenditure at U.S. expense. Now in a multi-polar world U.S. and European perceived threats are less aligned. This was first tested in the aftermath of September 11th when for the first time NATO elected to trigger its article 5 collective defense protocol. And since then the U.S. has sought to continue to expand the traditional theatre of operations beyond Europe's borders. No longer is Russia perceived by America as being a proximate existential threat to its interests, but rather containing Chinese expansion in the Pacific arena. Parallel to NATO a discrete 'five eyes' intelligence sharing alliance comprising the Anglo-sphere (the U.S., U.K., Canada and New Zealand) emerged. This stands at the center of the U.S. – U.K. 'special relationship'. A relevant question would be can this signals intelligence (NSA-GCHQ) partnership persist should the U.S. withdraw from NATO? Conventional thinking would have led one to believe that with Brexit the U.K. would naturally pivot towards closer U.S. relations but under Starmer the U.K. is distancing itself. European powers misrepresent the present conflict as an aggressive, rather than defensive U.S. adventure while they themselves are more likely to be at risk. In this the Starmer government resembles the Labor party led committee for nuclear disarmament in the 1980's. It opposed the Thatcher supported deployment of U.S. cruise missiles in response to the Soviet SS20's pointed at Britain's cities. The British left branded their response to Soviet strategic escalation to U.S. aggression. This time however there is for the moment no Thatcher to bring common sense into an equation dominated by emotionally driven ideologies in the face of an aggressor with definite aims. In terms of the Russian-Ukraine conflict we are reverting to the old question dating back to the Napoleonic war era: to what extent is London happy with the European nations fighting it out alone for dominance of the continent. Britain was never willing to accept a single power in control. Many variables will dictate what kind of world emerges from the current conflicts in Ukraine and Iran. How will power be extracted from potential gains? What will be the strategic impact of this? What is sure, in the age of Trump this pattern of reliance on U.S. muscle is becoming quickly exhausted. Dating back to the Roman Empire, a factor in the decline of major powers has always been astronomical military spending, a budgetary demand that the U.S. under Trump is no longer willing to shoulder alone.

Greetings Dear Brethren in Yeshua our Lord & God Hope your all well Further developments: The NHS and oncologist from day one got my Markers wrong which in result denied me access to the latest treatments such as immunotherapy and targeted treatment. After getting a second opinion from Royal Marsden they discovered my Markers were not zero but 13-14 and that I was also Claudine 18.2 which confirmed I was allowed to all the latest treatments such as targeted treatment. My local MP and Health secretary are now involved and have written to both the treatment companies and NHS trust. I have also spoken to doctors in the states. Dear brethren my family & I have been through so much in the past and the valley is truly a battle. I truly thank The Lord Yeshua for Him humbling us all, correcting us in His parental love (1 Cor 4-6 & 2 Cor 2). It’s been very hard but also a blessings to truly draw closer The Lord- cast of works of darkness/old garments and be washed in His Blood daily. Your prayers are vital and above all The Glory Of The Lord to be magnified. Please remember us in your love & prayers as we walk through this battle in The Lord. Praying for you all and much love in Yeshua. Your brother - Teerth & Family

Contrary to the near unanimous chorus of media coverage concerning the current impasse in the straits of Hormuz it isn't obvious that this is an American problem. The chief consumers of oil passing through this critical juncture are China, India, South Korea, Japan and the European markets. The U.S. has alternative reserves due to domestic crude from Alaska, the Permian Basin, the Gulf of America and domestic fracking. This is further augmented by Venezuelan heavy crude now refined in the U.S. and possible further supplementation with Canadian sand shale from Alberta. Based on those determinations if European powers won't contribute to efforts to keep the straits open, Trump can simply leave them to their own repercussions that will further drive up the price of Brent crude oil. The question may then become whether the U.S. can redefine the global oil market by legislatively mandating the West Texas Intermediate. Can America divorce the WTI from the Brent prices and from the Rotterdam spot market prices by maintaining a domestic market legislatively controlled? In so doing, keeping all oil being drilled from federal lands subject to a semi-interventionist price control system that in theory could average domestic gasoline prices at $2/gallon varied only by state taxes. Such a fundamental restructuring of oil markets will allow the U.S. to operate independent of global bench marks. This might be opposed by petroleum industry interests who would benefit from higher international prices, but would likely have public support. Such price regulation would not be government mandated price controls in the ordinary sense, but could be legally enforced as terms of condition in federal licensing policies for drilling on federal lands. Approximately 25% of oil pumped in the U.S. is drilled on federal land where contractual conditions can be easily implemented. These strategies would have a short to medium term impact on global markets and on domestic prices. Medium to longer term strategies however would require a national network construction of safer pebble cooled nuclear reactors, generating a viable source of electricity for electric vehicles. Additionally, similar to the energy company SASOL, the U.S. should begin domestic production of a coal conversion variant of gasoline, jet fuels and certain petrol chemicals. The Fischer-Tropsch process technology allowing for the production of cleaner synthetic fuels has existed since the 1930's and enhanced upgrades of this method are in active production use in South Africa. This would avoid the failed folly of moving towards 100% renewables that have crippled the German economy and driven energy costs punitively higher in order to placate Green Party-political interests. The Trump administration must lower domestic gasoline prices in an election year in the short term. However, in the medium to longer term the current conflict with Iran affords an opportunity to restructure the international oil market in such a manner that it will immunize the U.S. from surging oil prices. In theory such a fundamental revamping of oil markets could keep domestically produced oil under $50/barrel. Events are marching forward at pace. At time of writing some European nations have indicated a willingness to perhaps contribute towards a naval response. Trump himself has said that Iran is negotiating an end to the blockade. Irrespective of this, the situation has elucidated the vulnerability of European and Asian gas and oil supply and the opportunity for the U.S. to advance its energy independence in such a way that will directly translate into savings for domestic consumers.

THE CONFGLAGRATION OF HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND CURRENT RISING GLOBAL ENERGY PRICES. WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING? Rubin Rothler LLB, LLM The markets historically have responded with grave alarm at the prospect of disruptions in the major sea lanes for transporting fuel. So far, Iran has exercised a degree of reluctance to fully close this critical channel due to Chinese pressure for their major source to remain. The Chinese economy could be savaged should Iran fully attempt to shut down all shipping in its entirety. As the war continues, Iranian capability to realize these ends becomes less likely due to the severe damage inflicted upon maritime forces. The U.S. has strategically positioned their Armada in place so that they are effectively choking the deployment of the Iranian Navy at sea in all theatres. From the coast of Sri Lanka in the mid Indian Ocean to the outer reaches of the Persian Gulf, the Iranian Navy is simply out gunned and woefully inadequate technologically to pose any meaningful opposition. However, they may decide to go all in and actively concentrate directed attacks by their small boats at all incoming oil tankers in the Straights. If this scenario unfolds, we may see an impasse in the conflict. Fear in the Gulf States and Saudi Arabia has already greatly increased. These regimes continue to be actively targeted by Iran to cause maximum economic impact. They may lean on the U.S. to seek a negotiated settlement. Europe with the exception of Spain has so far largely fallen into line with the Washington consensus. But if prices rapidly increase policy may shift (as it has been with now over $100 per barrel of oil). The combination of Arab consternation, Chinese pressure and European pliability together with a collapse in global energy supplies could cause the U.S. to reconsider its objectives in terms of what can be realistically realized. Trump prepared for these repercussions and mitigated the damage by posturing accordingly. The City of London's traditional monopoly on ensuring the maritime industry is being effectively displaced by U.S. surety for transit in the Straights. Further, the operation to remove Maduro in Venezuela with the consequent assumption of their oil reserves lent handsomely to the aim of forging an alternate fuel supply to the global markets. Albeit there remain questions concerning the ability to refine thick Venezuelan crude oil as its refining is more costly and arduous than Saudi and Gulf oil. Trump gained an extension of time for getting these operations underway by drawing out the prior negotiations with Iran. Here we can see that contrary to popular comment Trump's actions are strategically calculated. Complicating matters, after the oil and natural gas embargo was imposed on Russia, Europe became increasingly reliant on Middle Eastern supplies. Qatar is the prime source of natural gas and its depots are being choked by Iranian strikes. If this persists Europe will find it extremely difficult to secure its energy needs. Similarly, India has been acutely impacted to such an extent that Trump was moved to allow Delhi to lift sanctions on Russian energy. It must also be noted however that at present there exists no shortage of ready refined petroleum supplies, not even including the embargoed Russian oil (much of it unrefined) stored in tanker ships due to Ukraine War sanctions. Trump Administration plans using US naval and allied naval assets to escort tankers through the Straights f Hormuz would easily allow Lloyds of London to provide usual insurance once those vessels clear the Persian Gulf. Hence, the upward trajectory of crude prices is in part being manipulated by certain City of London and Wall Street interests that are in some measure politically motivated to favour the American Democrat Party in upcoming mid-term congressional elections. In terms of supply actualities, crude increases should be no higher than 25% in terms of Brent and 20% in terms of West Texas Intermediary. Predictably the legacy media is misrepresenting the price surge as purely market driven, when it is to some degree being engineered. Certain questions can be raised regarding how current events will unfold. A catastrophic situation could plausibly embroil dragging in additional actors to the conflict. Serious commentators have actually cautioned that we are heading towards World War Three. Short of this, Qatar is warning of global economic disaster. At the very least we will continue to see instability in global energy markets that will increasingly hit everyday consumers at the gasoline pump.

There appears to be a number of good pastors in very serious health struggles at the moment in England. These include Pastor Tony Pearce (London), Pastor John Anglisse (reading area), and Moriel Pastor Teerth Sonde (Wolverhampton). To these we have just learned that another Moriel Pastor in Winsford, Pastor Malcom Betts has suffered a serious coronary and is likewise in deep need of prayer. This may or may not be a general demonic attack on pastors in the area of health, however Our God Is Indeed Able to undettake for all of them and each of them.

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST Moriel has learned that Pastor John Anglisse of Ark Christian Fellowship in England, a long standing friend of Moriel, has been medically diagnosed as being pre terminal in his on going health battles. Moriel and Jacob Prasch earnestly request prayer for The Lord's intervention and prolonging of John's temporal life for the sake of his wife Mary and for his congregation and ministry. While "to Live is Christ and to die is gain" for John, his homecoming would be quite a loss for those of us who remain, and we ask The Lord for healing. We also thank our subscribers for their prayers for our friend & brother Pastor Tony Pearce in London. Tony is scheduled for two surgery procedures this week for skin cancer, one of which involves potential risks for his eye. Continued prayer is much appreciated.
